It will lie remembered thut wlien It was determined by an nssocirt tlOD of benevolent men ol the Norb to send the steamer Chambers to carry supplies to the stricken vic tims oi yellow fever in the towns along the banks ut the Mississippi, Lieut. H. H, Benner, volunteered to take command of the expedition. While engaged in succoring the lick, dying and destitute he was attacked with yellow fever, ot which he died. Ilia luueral took place in Vicksburg ou Thursday last, with all the honors due to one who had fallen a marty the cause of bumauity.his remains being followed to the grave by thousands of the citizens ol Vicks burg, by whom,it is stated, u tnon ument is hereafter to be ereoted to his memory. Lieutenant Benner was a gallant Uniou sn'idier, and having left a wife and two small children entirely destitute of the means of support,a movement lias been on foot in New York by offi cers of the army to raise a fund lor their relief. Simultaneously with this movement, we are grat ified to observe that similar steps are being taken iu the south lor the same praiseworthy and benev olent purpose. A communication irom “Confederate Soldiers, ' in the Augusta Chronicle, proposes that “a fund be rais.d by sub- scriplion from the Southern peo ple for the widow at.d orphans of this Northern soldier who offered up his life a voluntary sacrifice on the alter of humahity.’' They lmve appointed lion. Patrick Walsh to act as treasurer of the fund, and asks the press through out the State to make know-u the scheme to all t he people, that euch lnny contribute to the good cause We give to the movement oui most cordial appioval, und hearti ly endorse the clt quell t appeal ot our Augusta contemporary in its behalf.—Early County News.

Mr. Wiley M, Camp, a highly respected citizen of Clopton, Dale county, went home ou Saturday l.ight under the influence of liquor aud Mrs. Camp prepared his sup pur, lmt he refused to eat it, and ahked for morplieue. Mrs Camp at first decided not to let him have it, blit afterwards yave him tht solid row of stores mentioned. Across the wide street were the large brick building* recently put up,that but tor the stillness ot the night would have been in ruins. The cotton warehouse ot Messrs Turner & Blown, the center of which was uncovered, aod lull of cottou, was iu immediate danger from the iucessant shower of sparks and glowiug cinders that lateral ly covered the cottoo bales. The froat on the cotton and the quick use ot Water buckets saved it. The amount of cottou iu stsie was €00 hales. The two other cotton warehouses were not iu much danger during any stage of the conflagration. Mr. J. E. DeVaugh lost heari ly. He had just about completed his two story brick store immedi ately across the street, and expect to move his entire stock into it in a few days. Considerable money, papers and the books of his busi ness w« re in the sate,which at this writing has not btlen opened and the loss of the conteuts cannot be ■stiumted. The sympathy of the community is deeoly with Mr. J. E. DeVaugh and Mr.Asa Brandy, who raved nothing aud had uo in surance. Mr. Asa Brantly hud on depos it by a planter *500, and some $500 cash ot his own. As the safe has not been opened the loss cannot he reckoned, Messif. Eichbautu & Cohen.who occupied a brick store opposite, \ lost by damage iu removal of goods about $300. They were insured but. exerted themeelves to rescue the entire stock, as every fne expected the whole htiKiuess portion of the town to go down. The origiu of the fire is supposed to be incendiary, and was not discevered until the back part of Mr. J. E. DeVaiighn aud Mr. J. F. Norris (who joined) were falling in. To much praise con not he given the “colored brother’' who worked well and until everytihing that could be saved was carried out and away Irom the iuleune heat ot the fire. Much credit is due lor vain- able service rendered by the will- ling efforts oi Messrs N. H. Bond, j J. K. Maxwell an I H.
